The vulnerability of computational models to adversarial examples highlights the differences in the ways humans and machines process visual information. Motivated by human perception invariance in object recognition, we aim to incorporate human brain representations for training a neural network. We propose a multi-modal approach that integrates visual input and the corresponding encoded brain signals to improve the adversarial robustness of the model. We investigate the effects of visual attacks of various strengths on an image classification task. Our experiments show that the proposed multi-modal framework achieves more robust performance against the increasing amount of adversarial perturbation than the baseline methods. Remarkably, in a black-box setting, our framework achieves a performance improvement of at least 7.54% and 5.97% on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets, respectively. Finally, we conduct an ablation study to justify the necessity and significance of incorporating visual brain representations.
